Description

iRule is a cloud-based universal remote control application for both phones and tablets. It's easy to configure and maintain, allowing you to control your home theater with a customizable color touch screen remote using the Android device you already have!

Customize your remote and configure your devices with iRule Builder, our online application. The Builder allows you to upload your own custom images as well as share devices, panel layouts, and images with other users. Builder also includes a large device database to support most IR-based consumer electronics equipment found in a typical living room or home theater. To try the builder, visit our website at http://www.iRuleAtHome.com/try-buy-irule.html

* The iRule app is free to download, but requires the use of iRule Builder to configure, which is free to try for 30 days. If you're as thrilled with iRule as we think you will be, iRule and iRule Pro can be purchased for $49.99 and $99.99, respectively. For more information on how iRule works, what you'll need, and pricing, please visit our website at www.iruleathome.com.

* Please note that most users' systems will require a hardware gateway to control consumer electronics devices that do not support direct network control. iRule is compatible with Global Caché products, available from our website at http://www.iRuleAtHome.com

Becoming more and more buggy This used to be a very good app, unfortunately it seems all the effort now goes into new tricks for the iPhone version and very little to fix the bugs which have plagued the Android software for a while. There are major problems with keeping the app running - it crashes, loses network connection, needs to be force stopped from the Apps list and occasionally I have to restart the phone. There are several posts about this on the help forums which they haven't bothered to acknowledge.

iRule. Yes. iDo This is a product that has matured very well. There were hurdles along the way but for some time now the iRule / On Controls app has truly performed. Projector, HDTV, Audio Mix, Amp, Matrix, Media Center, DVD, Multi Zone...in the Living Room or the Board Room.... its all under solid unified control across multiple handsets. EZ Touch Remote in FLL has surpassed my expectations.

Its great I use this app to control everything in my house for almost a year...I use it as my graphic user interface for my audio video, lighting controls, security. What is nice is that I can bring all the controls into one touch panel. With some tinkering you can control anything. But be aware you can only do this if you have network and gateway devices.....the ones irule recommends are fairly inexpensive. But u also can contol anything with an ip address also.

Best universal remote This App is really well done and their support is excellent. When I started building my remote I quickly noticed there was a problem with one of my IP controlled devices. iRule already knew about the problem and addressed it in the subsequent release. Their support is fast to respond and genuinely helpful. The basics work very well and I'm looking forward to upcoming enhancements that add better device status with dynamic buttons.

Awesome app! I love the idea of this app and the way it's configured. I have it controlling my amplifiers, TVs, Sonos units, Rokus, and lighting. It's freaking sweet, but putting together the whole system and interface can takes weeks, if not months. It is not for the faint of heart. Also, it doesn't support full screen, lacks features that the iOS app gets, and requires a new configuration for each device resolution, which is tedious. That said, there's an active community for online support that is actively monitored by the developers, and they actually listen. :)

No module support Module support has been promised for over a year, but still no Sonos integration forthcoming, although it was delivered on iOS initially. Otherwise, while an incredibly steep learning curve, confusing device support and clumsy web-based builder software, the end result (once you've experimented and figured it all out) is flexible and good looking. Other than that, I find it incredible that you have to design your layouts based on resolution support, such that if you've designed a 1200x800 layout, it simply won't work on a device that "only" support 1200x720. Those extra 80 pixels are too difficult for the app to deal with apparently.

Not perfect, but close I'm giving this app and company 5 stars because it works well and is reliably. It works with an array of control devices and protocols. In many ways it rivals high-end control systems for a fraction of the price. The end results are elegant and user friendly. It does take technical know-how to design and implement this system, but for installers familiar with control systems, it's piece of cake. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to future improvements.

Horrible interface Horrible setup interface. Not very intuitive which is surprising in this day and age. Have to log in using a Google account as well!? And don't think I'm technically challenged in an electrical engineer.

Amazing control app This app is incredible! My Home Theater is now a blast to run with the custom irule app I made for my phone. I did the 30 day free trial and bought the Pro version several hours later. Much more powerful than Touchsquid which I also tried. More work than Touchsquid but much more customizable. It takes a bit of time to learn the ins and outs but once you understand the drag and drop programming functions it is unbelievable what you can do. 5 stars doesn't seem enough to give this control app!

Confusing I installed and run the app. It goes into the settings page. The end. I can't find anywhere where I'm able to actually use the function of the app. It only allows me to change minor details in the settings that have nothing to do with anything really.

You have to sign up for an account with our cloud remote building application, "iRule Builder". In a desktop browser (chrome recommended), please navigate to iruleathome.com for more info and to start a 30 day free trial. Google account is all that is necessary to start a 30 day free trial. Good luck building your remote.

The app requires the cloud to build a remote. After you execute a sync everything is done locally in your internal network.
The cloud is only for building your unique, customized remote, once it is on your mobile device the cloud is not a requirement.

Love it! Thank you. I have been looking for something to replace my ageing Philips pronto remotes....the irule solution is definitely one of the most forward thinking options out there...I would love to have a downloadable version of the programming software for those moments without cloud access. Awesome .

Great so far! This app isn't nearly polished yet, but it is still one of the better Android implementations for iTach devices. It isn't the easiest app or design to use, but it wins hands down for one key reason: complete customizability.Keep up the good work.

Outstanding Remote System This is an outstanding application. I ended up purchasing the pro version to run my entire home theater via the Global GC-100-12. This app controls my system via RS-232 and IR. Does macros and feedback smoothly. Be aware this app requires hardware to operate and the software has a steep learning curve. However, the time spent is well worth the complete remote you will have. The web based iBuilder software is a little slow and cumbersome, so 4 stars. If you are looking for a totally customizable and very powerful remote for your home, this is it!
